A note on laminating art.

When I first started working here, I was kinda aghast that the artworks were laminated. Not all are, mind you, but the ones put on display in the hallway are laminated. It took me a hot minute, but I realized why. In a community with the majority being special needs students, outbursts happen, stuff gets ripped down, and since we know this, it makes the most prudent sense to protect the artwork in the most sensible way possible. I have started cutting the lamination off, leaving a half inch border of plastic. That makes it perfect for displaying on bulletin boards without damaging the artwork. The lamination tears off cleanly and can be further trimmed to make it neat.
